The track is for my third grade low achieving reading class. The students will be engaged in cause and effect skills through using time lines, letter writing, discussion problems and illustration of the cause and the effect. Through the activities students will develop the reading skills necessary for word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, an appreciation of the written text required by the TN Language Arts framework. Students will be strengthening profiler skills which ask them to spot important facts, deciding which tasks are important, and telling others what they have learned. Building strong cause and effect relationships will help increase critical thinking goals addressed in our school wide improvement plan.
